Falsterbo Strandbad

Falsterbo Strandbad is a beach break located on the southern coast of Sweden, facing south into the Baltic Sea. The spot occupies a shallow bay with dense residential development immediately inland, constraining the usable launch area. The water shows characteristic Baltic green coloration with algae presence. With average wind speeds of 10.6 knots and only 33.7% reliability, conditions are inconsistent and marginal for kitesurfing. Average wave heights of 0.57m indicate minimal swell energy. Best winds approach from the east (90°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The shallow, choppy water and residential surroundings make this primarily a beginner spot suited to light-wind sessions. Water temperature averaging 10.2°C requires appropriate thermal protection. Limited fetch and bay configuration restrict wave development. The spot works best during rare higher wind events, though recreational swimmers and proximity to homes require careful session planning and awareness of other beach users.
